The spring door creaked and locked, leaving only loneliness in the room.
He left?
Just like that?
Sheng Yiqing stared at the small piece of blue sky on the glass window on the door, pursed her lips, and tears came up little by little. Then, the grievances of being hospitalized for several days in a row, accompanied by pain, were suppressed in her throat, and she simply vented them all out. Sheng Yiqing sat on the bed with her knees hugged, one hand pressed on the surgical wound on her chest, and the other arm supported her forehead, crying loudly.
She cried for a long time, wishing that all the grievances would turn into tears. From the beginning, she didn't want to drag him down, and then turned into resentment. While crying, she hated that he actually agreed to divorce her. In the last second, she gritted her teeth and shed tears and decided to drag him to death, but in the next second, she began to dislike that if she really cut off her chest, would it be annoying...
After crying so much, she felt sleepy due to lack of oxygen, so she simply lay down and sobbed in her dream. In the dimness, she heard someone open the door. After a while, a figure stood by the bed, gently wiped her eyes with his fingers, and then gently called her: "Wake up."
Sheng Yiqing closed her eyes tightly, unwilling to pay attention to him.
But the man was not angry, but went to the quilt to grab her right hand, grabbed it to the cheek, and kissed it gently.
What?
She was curious.
The next second, there was a crisp sound of closing a box, and a cold little ring was put on her ring finger.
She didn't care about pretending, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and wiped her eyes: "What is this?!"
"Proposal." Chen Zhuan said as a matter of course, "The previous marriage was too stupid, I want to divorce and remarry with you."
At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun came in through the window, shining on the diamond of the ring, reflecting the bright light.
Sheng Yiqing was dumbfounded: "... stupid?"
"Because I found out that I was wrong. If two people are together because of health, luck and wealth, it is the simplest thing in the world. Such feelings are also the cheapest feelings in the world. It is easy to be selfish. It is human nature and engraved in everyone's blood. But marriage is difficult because true marriage is against selfishness."
Sheng Yiqing looked at the ring and smiled bitterly: "So this kind of marriage system is the most untrustworthy. It is dark, heavy and realistic. It violates and challenges human nature. It is the cruelest system."
"But truly great things are all against human nature." Chen Zhuan looked at her: "Sheng Yiqing, human nature is selfish, greedy, fond of the new and tired of the old, and seek profit and avoid harm. If a person just wants to live this life according to nature, how terrible it is? If I say that I have encountered something that makes me willingly give up my selfishness, greed, fond of the new and tired of the old, and seek profit and avoid harm, is it worth being happy?"
Sheng Yiqing pulled the corner of her mouth, "Then you become a pure person, a person who is free from vulgar tastes."
"Yes. I am such a person now because I met you." Chen Zhuan nodded and held her hand: "It was not until I learned that you were sick that I understood the purpose of the questions you asked me. You asked me what it meant to grow old together, and asked me what I would do if you got seriously ill. I answered that I didn't know, which was the truth, because the question was not really put in front of me. But now, I know: if the person I choose to spend my life with happens to be chosen by the god of death, then I will snatch her from the hands of the god of death at all costs." "But I was not chosen by the god of death..." Sheng Yiqing pulled back her hand, "I won't die, I will only be tortured, become ugly, and become manic. By then, I will become bald, my hands and feet will be swollen, my breasts will be cut off, and I... I will slowly become a stranger. Then you will forget why you fell in love with me." "You always make things Too pessimistic. "Chen Zhuan reached out and wiped away her tears that were overflowing again: "I don't know what the future will be like, but now, I can't let you go. These things are not decided by me. I only know that now, even if I see the bumpy road ahead, I only want to, and can only accompany you. "
"Sheng Yiqing, we are together because of luck, but now that bad luck has come, I also want to share it with you. So-" He looked into her eyes: "The stupid agreement that was once made doesn't count, okay? We just want to have the most old-fashioned and traditional marriage with you. There are wedding rings, weddings, heavy promises and dedication, a lifetime of ties and companionship, and an agreement that no matter poverty or wealth, health or illness, nothing can separate us. "
Because of love, this is the most suitable marriage for us. His movements were gentle, but her tears flowed like water from a floodgate. Finally, she simply buried her face in his arms and asked with sobs, "You are going back to the United States, how can you accompany me to treat my illness?"
The tears wet a piece of fabric, hot and cold. Chen Zhuan couldn't bear to lie to her anymore, so he patted her back and said slowly, "I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving. I told them before I returned that I would not go to school."
The crying in his arms paused, and Sheng Yiqing didn't react: "What do you mean?"
"I just arrived in the United States, I saw your WeChat message and was about to call you when I realized you had deleted all my contact information. I guess something must have happened or something was wrong for you to say that, so I didn't even leave the airport. As soon as my luggage arrived, I bought a return ticket and came back. "
Sheng Yiqing opened her eyes in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief, "You, you came back so early?"
"I knew you wouldn't see me, so I went to find Chi Wei and Qu Fanyi first, and they told me that you were sick. "
"So you have been in Beijing until the day of the operation?"
"Well, I have to do something. If you don't trust me, if you think I am unworthy, if I want to convince you, no matter how much I say, it will be useless. At least do something..."
"Isn't it a dream?" She lowered her head. "You, you applied for so long, and you met David and others... It's rare to have the same ideals."
"Yes, I did apply for a long time, and I am very happy to get the offer from UCLA. I also know that there are several top film schools in the United States, and each film school recruits countless students in China every year. In each class of students, there are countless Davids and countless me. That so-called dream, if it is not realized this year, I can realize it next year, the year after, or even any year in the future. When something can only accompany you for a few short years, it is replaceable. You can choose to get it or give it up."
But there is a person who will accompany him for a lifetime and cannot be replaced.
"Under such circumstances, I still want to study abroad. Do you think I am a human being?"
That night, Chen Zhuan said a lot of things. Sheng Yiqing had been listening quietly, occasionally playing with his silver hair.
She only remembered that at the end, Chen Zhuan leaned down, buried his head in her neck, and gently kissed her face, which was slightly hot, wet, and soft. She didn't know whether it was a kiss mark or a tear mark. She heard his vague voice with a slight pleading:
"When you get better, we will meet our parents, have a wedding, and never talk about divorce again, okay?"
The night was very bright, and the clouds were deep and shallow on the night sky. Gradually, the clouds dispersed, revealing a full moon in the sky, like a jade plate, shining with bright light.
On the day he returned home from the hospital, Chen Zhuan packed all his luggage, and then talked to the doctor for half an hour about the precautions for postoperative recovery, and then took the medicine, prescribed the medicine, and went through the discharge procedures. She was hospitalized for three days, and he accompanied her for three days, taking care of everything, so much that the doctors and nurses praised him.
After an operation, Sheng Yiqing was exhausted. She seemed to have come from another world. Looking at the familiar door of her home, she took a deep breath and said, "I'm finally home."
The neighbor opposite the house seemed to have finished the renovation, and the door was closed at this moment. The house, which had been sealed for a week, exuded a faint fragrance of aromatherapy. Even if the doors and windows were closed, there was still a thin layer of dust on the ground. Chen Zhuan accompanied Sheng Yiqing into the house, put down the large and small bags of luggage, opened the window, and the two had just sat down when they heard a ding outside the door, the elevator door opened, and there was a movement in the corridor.
Then Chen Zhuan's mobile phone vibrated. He picked up the phone and hummed a few times, and said to Sheng Yiqing:
"The food has been delivered. I'll go cook first. You take a shower first and come to eat later."
The major pathology has not been found yet, and she needs to pay more attention to her diet. Chen Zhuan no longer indulges her to order takeout, and she has to cook every meal by herself. After saying this, he opened the door and saw a large bag of vegetables placed at the door of the opposite house.
"Why did you send it to the wrong place?" Sheng Yiqing was stunned, but Chen Zhuan walked over, picked up the bag, and twisted the door handle of the family opposite. After two clangs, the door opened.
Sheng Yiqing was stunned: "What?... What? You bought this house?"
"What do you think I did in the week I came back?" He glanced at her and put the bag on the dining table, "The old house was sold, plus the money I originally planned to study abroad..."
Sheng Yiqing narrowed her eyes: "That's not enough?"
From this angle, you can see the sofa and TV in the living room. The layout is deliberately left blank, and the style is still simple.
"Don't forget, I know a rich man." Chen Zhuan blinked, "Yu Yue, that idiot, lent me a lot."
"So..." She was stunned.
"So, our house is quite cost-effective." He crossed his arms and smiled at her. "Two bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms. When you want to see me, just open the door and shout and you can see me. When you don't want to see me, just close the door and I won't be able to disturb you. In addition, there is a corridor and an elevator for free." After saying this, he told her: "Find a place to rest and wait for dinner." The pathology report came out a week ago, and it was still a malignant tumor, but fortunately the tumor had just become cancerous and had not had time to deteriorate and spread. Just keep observing. No need for extended incision or chemotherapy. ,
It was Sheng Yiqing who felt a little regretful after hearing the news: "I originally thought that if I really had to remove all of them, I could still get a bigger one. I've been looking at implants online these days. I like teardrop-shaped breasts"
Hearing this, Chen Zhuan stood leisurely with his hands in his pockets, and also pretended to reconcile with her: "Yes. I originally thought that if you had chemotherapy, I could shave my head with you..."
"Forget it, your head shape is not as good as mine..."
The two of them walked out of the hospital gate while chatting nonsense, looking at the warm spring sun, as if they had survived a disaster.
Spring in Beijing is short. Halfway through May, the surroundings are already full of summer.
Opening the window, you can see a green area with pear blossoms, peach blossoms and cherry blossoms mixed in the bushes.
On Monday morning, Sheng Yiqing got up a little earlier than usual, washed her face, brushed her teeth, washed her hair, used a straightener to curl her hair, changed three sets of clothes, and put on light makeup.
Today is her first day to report to Sun Ning Company. The new CFO has to show some aura.
When the door was opened, she saw Chen Zhuan had already dressed up, dyed his hair back to black, and wore a white shirt with suit pants, looking fresh. It was rare for the two to see each other dressed like this, and they couldn't take their eyes off each other for a while.
"Are you going to an interview?"
Chen Zhuan came back to his senses and nodded, "Joining today?"
"Yeah." Sheng Yiqing smiled, raised her arms slightly, and asked him: "How about this outfit? Does it look aura?"
He smiled and looked at her: "Not bad. But as for aura - it seems that there is still something missing."
"Hmm?"
He took out a velvet box from his pocket and handed it to her: "I'll give you a matching tool."
He looked nonchalant, as if it was really just a matching item.
Sheng Yiqing took it blankly, opened it, and the two wedding rings were quietly placed on the dark blue velvet, reflecting the fragmented light.
"...Hasn't it been given before?"
Chen Zhuan said seriously: "That's different. Last time it was a proposal, with a diamond ring, this time it's a wedding ring. After meeting the parents during the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be a wedding. We can't miss anything that others have." As he said this, he stretched out his hand: "Here, let's exchange rings."
Sheng Yiqing stared at the ring motionlessly, her nose sour, and after a while, she laughed softly:
"I used to think that the sense of ceremony was the stupidest thing in the world."
"But what about now?"
"Now, I have changed my view. In this ever-changing era, there are still people who are stupid. I foolishly believe in eternity and the only one." She sighed, "It is such a grand ceremony that tells everyone that we are pure love warriors who dare to fight against human nature, giving us the courage to overestimate our own abilities, and even dare to make a lifelong commitment, and willing to go against human selfishness, greed and love of the new for this commitment-
Knowing that it is impossible, marriage is obviously the most romantic thing in the world."
After saying this, she shook the ring on her ring finger: "It has the aura of a married woman answering questions, I like it."
"What about mine?" Chen Zhuan also stretched out his hand.
Sheng Yiqing narrowed her eyes and commented: "It has the aura of a married man's abstinence, I like it too."
"Ding", the elevator arrived.
Chen Zhuan made a gesture of ladies first and followed her into the elevator. In the descending elevator, the two stood side by side, with two rings on their ring fingers, nested in the "love vein" that went straight to the heart, implying eternity and commitment.
"Then..."
In the brief moment of weightlessness, Chen Zhuan took her hand, curled his lips, and said softly:
"Happy wedding, my wife."
